Veteran coach Jim Grobe named acting coach for Baylor football in 2016
The longtime Wake Forest coach will take over the Bears program from Art Briles, who was recently fired amid the program's sexual assault scandal
Former Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe will replace departing Baylor coach Art Briles as the program's "acting head football coach" for 2016, according to a release from the school.
Last week, Baylor suspended Briles with intent to terminate him in wake of the findings from the Pepper Hamilton report on assaults of physical and sexual natures by Bears players. Without wasting much time, Baylor already has found its replacement for Briles, at least for the 2016 season.
"Jim Grobe is the right leader at this time to move Baylor University and the football program forward," said athletic director Ian McCaw, who himself was put on probation by Baylor last week. "He has successfully led two FBS programs during his career. Coach Grobe enjoys an impeccable reputation within the intercollegiate athletics community and is a man of great integrity and faith."
Grobe was named the National Coach of the Year in 2006 by CBS Sports and the Associated Press; he is taking 19 years of FBS head coaching experience to Waco, Texas. Grobe also served eight years as chairman of the American Football Coaches Association's ethics committee.
According to 247 Sports, "Grobe is expected to place the majority of his emphasis on the defensive side of the ball, aiding current defensive coordinator Phil Bennett."
Legendary Baylor coach Grant Teaff told CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd that "it looks like" the Bears' entire staff will remain in place aside from Briles, at least in the short term. That means offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, Art's son, would once again lead the that side of the ball.
"The urgency right now is to protect recruiting and get everyone on board," Teaff added.
